3 new Phenom 300 repaints for download

Recommended Posts

I was packing up the repaint for the red and orange striped version for the first requestor and thought what the heck, I will just add these other two that I have already packed up. So, for the next 10 days you can download the first pack of 3 new repaints.

I am going to tag onto this post so these don't get lost in the mess. Our friends from down under feel slighted that they didn't get any VH repaints with the Phenom 300 and I didn't add any to my initial list. So this one is for you.

Several folks have asked why I don't just upload these repaints to the Avsim library and be done with it.

The story goes something like this. First, I don't consider myself a repainter, but I do think I am a pretty decent reviewer. To keep my options open, just in case I decide that Avsim is not my cup of tea and I want to publish my reviews elsewhere, I have remained a 'Contributing Reviewer', as opposed to an Avsim Reviewer.

Back to the subject. I spent several days and nights learning just enough to make a few presentable repaints for something - maybe some Navy paints for the PMDG 737NG or one of the LearJets. Anyway, I evidently did not follow the yellow brick road step for step and the Librarian at the time chose not to include the little icons or thumbnails that allows one to see what it is prior to downloading.

Well, I tried a second and maybe a third time and the instructions were just about a clear as mud to me so I just vented off and asked if someone could write the instructions in English, 3rd grade level. Well, I'm guessing this guy had a PhD because he let me know he was waaay smarter than some dumbass painter that couldn't follow his crystal clear instructions.

So, as you may guess, that was the last time I uploaded anything or attempted to upload anything to the Avsim library. Oh, I got some emails from other folks in the loop that agreed with the poor librarian that I P1ssed off. Evidently, Librarians are much harder to find than repainters, (and pretty decent reviewers) and the pay is the same. [zero]

That's is why I don't upload my repaints to the avsim library. I like to see what the paint looks like without having to dig into the file structure or download it, unzip it and then sometimes have to load it up just to see that I already have something very similar.

I can use Google drive to send repaints but I need email addresses and not just a PM request. Sometimes I can't respond the next day as many expect, but I usually do get around to it eventually. Sometimes within the hour.

Regards,

Ray

Thanks for 3rd repaint, already downloaded the first two. How is the previously shown (work in progress) Flexjet & NetJet doing?

Thanks again, Darryl

I fell off the wagon and haven't worked on the NetJets for some time now, but I know a lot more about upside down, backwards, twist and shout, mirror image, twist some more and then confuse the rudder with one of the wing panels. This Carenado paintkit is really something to behold. Heck, I am yet to figure out how to place a simple Reg Number in the center of the vertical stabilizer. Unreal.

What I need is a paint by number kit. Remember those? If I could see where the puzzle pieces are hiding, I might be able to copy someone elses work. That may be why we see so few Carenado repaints.

I didn't even start the Flexjet one - mainly because the wings are on two sheets and in about 30 pieces and no two are adjacent or aligned with anything. Not even the stars.

You will notice that most of my stuff is a form of cut and paste with color changes and slight realignments of existing lines. I have no idea how real repainters do this crap. I'm using a ten year old photo editor that is as limited as I am. I have photoshop but I keep falling asleep on the first tutorial and I have seen the same one several times. duh.

C-BERT is not a Canadian registrations, they only start by C-Fxxx or C-Gxxx.It kinda disappoints me when people do this, i'd think you guys would do some kind of research before hand. @raymar

Geez Louise. Lighten up, it's a simulation after all. I guess you are going to have to stay disappointed. I suppose I could correct it, but C-FERT or C-GERT just doesn't seem to do anything for me, and I'm sure Bert would be terribly disappointed.

Here it is 12OCT2015 and I just found this page and all the re-paint download links have expired. DANG!! Is there another way of getting those repaints? (I've never downloading and applying a repaint, so this will be a new challenge for me. Yayy!!)
